Earlier this year, Kristian Matsson, the Swedish folk singer who records as the Tallest Man On Earth, released the gorgeously layered new album Dark Bird Is Home. Today, he’s shared a video for the lushly propulsive album track “Darkness Of The Dream.” In it, we see Matsson hitting a dance studio with a pair of modern dancers and trying out some impressively tricky choreography. (This is the point where I’m obligated to point out that if Matsson were really the tallest man on earth, they might not have been able to lift him so easily.) We also see him roaming across a barren, rocky landscape with a very cute small dog in tow. Jakob Wallin directed the video-- Stereogum
